f(x)=1 and g(x)=exp(x) was out walking one day. In the distance they saw a derivation operator, f(x) imediatly became worried and told g(x) that he prefered if they went another way. He said: "if he get's on me, I'll disapear". g(x) was rather comfortable but understood f(x) anxiety and said: "you can go another way but I'll walk this way, I wont disapear". So they parted and as g(x) aproached the derivation operator it sais: "Hi, I'm the derivation operator in respect of y"

"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan
